Question

the term race refers to a category of people who are defined as similar because they: have a unique and distinctive genetic makeup. share a number of physical characteristics. exhibit similar behaviors.

Explanation:

In social science (sociology/anthropology contexts), the concept of "race" is a socially constructed category historically defined by shared physical traits (like skin tone, hair texture, facial features), as there is no unique genetic marker that defines a distinct racial group, and behaviors are not a defining feature of racial categorizations.

Answer:

B. share a number of physical characteristics.
